I used to use a 22lr, found it difficult b/c most shots were 50-100 yards, sometimes further. They are skiddish out here and unless you get them while they're full from feeding it's hard to get close to them. I started using my ar with a heavy non varmint bullet, works much better for me. I try for head or broadside normal vitals shots. I primarily just eat the backstrap and find this doesn't damage them while also increasing my range and anchoring them on the spot. However this method makes the front shoulders usually worthless.
